Correction: Urinary C-megalin for screening of renal scarring in children after febrile urinary tract infection

Correction to: Pediatric Research https://doi.org/10.1038/pr.2017.276, published online 6 December 2017

The original version of the above-mentioned article unfortunately contained a mistake. All the units of urinary biomarkers corrected by creatinine including N-acetyl-β-d-glucosaminidase (NAG), β2-microglobulin (BMG), neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), liver-type fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP), and C-megalin (full-length megalin) were incorrect throughout the published article including tables and figures. The corrected tables (Tables 2 and 3) and figures (Figs. 2 and 3) are presented below.

Table 3 Specificity, sensitivity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value dependent on urinary C-megalin values.

This mistake was simply due to miscalculation for conversion from ‘cgs’ to ‘SI’ units in urinary creatinine concentration and, therefore, it does not affect the conclusion or the effect at all.
